Sensitive to Titanium Dioxide

Posted on03/03/15 12:48 AM

I'm sensitive to Titanium Dioxide. I don't think the original lotion included it, nor does the scented version. I purposely avoid most sunscreen because of Titanium Dioxide. I'm not sure why you insist on adding it to this lotion. Titanium Dioxide can also discolor clothing. That's probably why you have another reviewer on here who's upset about his ruined shirts.

Disappointed

Posted on12/06/09 09:34 PM

I have used this product for several years, but then went to purchase another bottle and saw that the packaging had changed. I was so hoping the lotion hadn't changed, but it did. I loved the old lotion and like others was all I could use. The new lotion makes my skin and eyes burn. It also has an irritating fragance. Please, please bring the old lotion back.

Miss the Cream

Posted on11/30/10 11:24 AM

I agree with the reviews below. Olay really doesn't offer a good heavy cream for dry, sensitive skin anymore since they pulled the cream version of this product. They have recommended to me the fragrance free version of the total effects but it is still more of a lotion type of product. Those of us with dry skin like those thick creams. Olay, please bring back or come up with a new cream for dry sensitive skin.

Concerned about stained collars

Posted on12/14/09 08:03 AM

I am a 40-something guy who has used Olay's sensitive skin, unscented lotion for years. Huge fan, until lately. Since the new product hit the shelves I have found many shirt collars and t-shirts ruined by a yellow stain on the front of the neck. I would love to be able to retract my suspicion that it's due to the new Olay formula, however the clues point to the lotion. The stains only appear on the front of the collar where lotion is used. They began after my first purchase of the new formula. I do not use any other product.

I have seen other Olay users mention this problem on other web sites. Again, I'm a huge fan of the old lotion formula, so I wanted to share that you really need to check into the staining your new formula appears to cause. I first noticed the stain on a white shirt, but after looking back at my colored summer shirts I've discovered staining on many, which will cost me hundreds of dollars to replace.

Good luck sorting this out.

Bring back the cream version!!!

Posted on12/01/10 04:18 PM

Please bring back the cream version of active hydrating sensitive skin! The lotion is not the same! It does not provide the same moisturizing benefits as the cream. The original cream (non sensitive version) is pink and it stinks! I would never use it on my face. If I can't buy the active hydrating cream sensitive skin, I will not buy any Olay product.

bring back cream

Posted on09/16/10 04:02 PM

I agree with the review below, the cream was an awesome product. I had used it for years. It moisturized my dry skin so well. I also tried this product once they discontinued the cream and it does not even compare to the cream. Olay tried telling me the lotion version offers the same benefits as the cream version did. Why would you have two products that offered the same benefits? By the way they don't, this lotion does not help dryness really. Dry skin needs creams

Posted on09/01/10 03:47 PM

Olay recommended this since they discontinued the cream. This is nothing like the cream. This does a horrible job on someone with dry skin. We need thick creams. Please bring back the cream version. Why would you discontinue a classic product

The old formula was amazing! I used it for ten years. It never clogged my pores and my face always felt refreshed when I used it. I tried a generic brand only once and returned it within a week because my skin was dry and flaky from it. I wish I could return the new complete formula and get the old stuff back! This stuff is NOT for very sensitive skin! My face hurts and gets blotchy and red when I use it. You can smell the sunblock and it stinks. I've had to STOP using the new formula because my face is breaking out and feels like I have a rash all over it! PLEASE bring back the good stuff. I've always loved your products but I will be searching for another moisturizer that won't hurt my face.

PLEASE PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA

Posted on01/27/10 05:19 AM

I have been using the sensitve hydrating lotion more then 30 years. I ONLY use this lotion. I am freaking out that someone thought it needed improvement. I agree with all of the other reviews when they say that this burns the eyes. I have extremely sensitive skin and I am allergic to the SPF in most lotions. And I can not use any other formula without irritation. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE ANY LOTION IN ANY WAREHOUSE PLEASE LET US KNOW. We really were devoted consumers to the old formula. I bought a bottle once every two months for thirty years. That is a chunk of change over the years that I have spent on this product. Please bring the old lotion back I dont know what I will do without it.

New formula stings my skin

Posted on11/13/09 08:26 AM

I have been using the Olay Sensitive Skin with UV product for close to 10 years if not longer. It WAS perfect, but when I went to purchase it last week I noticed the box was different. I tried the new formula and it is not for sensitive skin. My face was hot and stinging all day until I splashed it with cool water to get the lotion off. I am very disappointed that the new product is not comparable to the old one that I loved. Now as I sit here typing my face is dry and lotionless, I am going to have to try something else :(
